If a track in itunes is not showing that generally means the track is not in the cloud. What if the track is still in icloud? How do I delete it from icloud? I keep on finding the track in my iPhone, but I need to remove it definitely. It's not in itunes anymore, yet still in icloud.
You can't delete a song from your purchased list, if that's what you're asking.
I uploaded the songs from a CD
Then you must be using iTunes Match. If so, this explains how to delete the song from your iTunes Match library: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4915.
Actually I already followed the instructions of deleting the tracks from iTunes Match: the songs now are hidden in iTunes Match, but are still in my device. Maybe I should upload them again in iTunes Match and delete them again following your instructions?
I would very much like to delete a dozen items from iCloud that Apple has stuffed there. They show up in iTunes on my desktop computer. Apple support says to use iTunes Match to do this. But I have never signed up for iCloud, never activated iTunes Match, and never will. Can I just get Apple not to dump stuff on me that it somehow thinks I want, and remove stuff that's already there? These are not items that I have purchased. They are things like previews of lame TV series, etc.
I had this problem too but I just fixed it. Go into the menu that shows your device when connected in iTunes. The iPhone menu for example. There should be a checkbox labeled "Manually manage music and videos". Check the box, then click on the "On This Phone" tab, still in the iPhone menu. Now you should be able to manually delete any songs you don't want on your phone. Even those that seem to not show up in your library!
why?
I really need to delete some purchesed songs.
How do I do it?

Because the iTunes store keeps a permanent record of all your purchases, and allows you to redownload them in the future, if desired. They don't use any storage in your iCloud account; they are only in the iTunes store.
I had the exact same problem but I have no Match account so I couldn't work out what was going on.
This link has just solved the issue for me...hopefully it works for you too.
I am furious at Apple. But if you post a note saying more, IT WON'T BE POSTED.
This seems does not work, I have deleted some albums, which are ripped from CD bit not purchased
, I checked it disappeared in my Apple Tv and iPad. Then last night, I started a new iTune library trying to updated some artwork that I can't done in my original iTune library (suggested by some user). Two things happen, first, when changed back to my original library, those deleted album reappear in the library; second, the old artwork returned after iTune Match updated.
The iCloud seems always keep the original songs and artwork and worked strangely and illogically; it does not just sync with your master iTune library.
Why? I am very frustrated!!!
